The Pig. Fenn
' Last Wednesday both grade S's
went to Mr. Braecker's pig farm.
He keeps his pigs in a barn Which
is only for pigs. There is a
pathway down the middle of the
barn to walk through to see the
pigs.. The feeders are 'automatic.
'If they are empty Mr. Braecker
pushes a hntton and the feed
comes -through a pipe and into a
feed pan. The,pig lifts a plate with
its nose and the feed comes out of
the feed pan for the pigs to eat.
Mr. Braecker buys the pigs .at
the age of 2 months. He will feed
